Hi Holger,
Thanks for your quick reply (quicker than my thanks, sorry).
Your reply confirmed my suspicion. I found a few pages which said much the
same: difficult, poor idea, insane, etc.
I'm looking into the use of musl.
Best regards.

Hi all,
I?ve just joined the list.
I have a question about static linking. While I?m working my way through
the archive to see if it has already been answered, I?ll ask here in case
someone can help.
After configure && make I find that plugins (for example check_apt) are
dynamically linked, needing libpthread.so.0 and libc.so.6, etc., according to
objdump.
I tried configure LDFLAGS=?-static? && make, and I can see -static added to
the libtool command line, but I still get a dynamically linked exe needing the
same shared libraries.
What am I doing wrong? (Or misunderstanding?)
Thanks in advance.
--Grant.

You can't easily compile a fully static binary on today's Linux/glibc
systems:
